Unironically that might be the best possible thing he could do.

I never accused them of being competent. They’re getting into a death spiral, but there still isn’t a very good and well known alternative to leech the disgruntled customer base.

I personally would read this as a sign that more people are turning to ad blocking or straight up leaving. Not enough money coming in so they have to jack prices up way faster than they’d likely do otherwise.

You really have issues, my guy. Your obsession with authority is something you should get help shedding.

First and foremost, yes a layman should pick those jobs up. It’s not difficult to get the basics down and to safely work on things. Ffs sounds like you are terrified of even changing your own oil. i don’t expect people to swap out their own engines or build their own OS, but plenty of ‘advances’ knowledge can be learned in a week and be useful.

Secondly; the reason it’s competitive is because the number of doctors is artificially lowered by government intervention, not most people failing out of school or some shit. It’s also common knowledge to anyone who has ever worked in or adjacent to the medical industry that plenty of people in it are complete morons; hell there is a worryingly high number of anti-vaxxers even! Which i didn’t appreciate you comparing me to, jackass.

The lay person can have access to plenty of research materials, they just aren’t bundled in a major network, and many tools that you’d need to watch out for in self medication are cheaply available from smaller clinics.

Plenty of people in every profession are idiots, doctors included. They are no more special than mechanics or programmers.

The ‘strict vetting process’ is only a method of keeping the supply of doctors low. Literally, that isn’t conspiracy. Edit: although that is a u.s. issue specifically.

This in no way sounds like anti-vax rhetoric? Doing actual research and doing something that doesn’t affect others is literally the exact opposite of what those people stand for.

The human body is just another machine. You can learn it as easily as you can learn how to fix whatever horrible sound you engine is making. The only advantage a doctor has over a layman is more direct access to resources (both knowledge, as in easy access to research, and tools, such as blood tests), but that doesn’t exclude a random from using those resources themselves.

As long as you know what you’re getting into i don’t see the big deal. Doctor aren’t some higher beings, hell a lot of them are idiots, you don’t need a fancy piece of paper to understand a science (let alone a niche as small as medicine as it’s applicable to you specifically). Just put the legwork in before hand and you can probably even do minor surgery on yourself just fine.

Although this does not comment on the legality of substance that would be used for that, the law has no baring on right and wrong.

Taste and poison are easy to account for, it’s way weirder to see creatures that die immediately after sex.

Honestly into anything these guys put out ngl

No, not at all. Sure the rich want to be richer, but hurting the poor is a goal in and of itself in our world.

Nah, but she can break me

I prefer freaks like this to the ad bots on Reddit at least!

Fetishization of the concept of civility. Liberals have always preferred a negative peace to even incredibly mild disruption, and that’d include hating people who want nothing more than to see the world worse for everyone. Hang out with leftists instead if you want to see people rightfully angry.

Never done it myself, but wouldn’t dive anywhere that serves cooked food, it can go off real quick (and they’re probably trashing the stuff that has already gone off) and could contaminate other stuff or get you sick. If you’re looking for help fuck managers; get to know the lowest rung, we’re usually spiteful to whatever hellhole we’re working at and will gladly give you stuff if we know how to get away with it.

While i dont listen to music popular enough to be affected, the world is absolutely slipping back into prude bullshit. I think we let our guard down because the new prudes don’t sound like the old ones, instead of using Christianity they use liberalism (as in, tokenizing identities and treating a negative peace as the highest goal possible). It’s the exact same minds raised under a different set of morals.

There is a war on piracy in Japan? Huh. Guess the fact i haven’t even noticed speaks to how well it’s going.

It’s gonna be amazing

I wish you nothing but the best for your ass

A 2 bit mobile developer and a 2 bit ttrpg, it’s a match made in heaven.

You are asking how to argue with someone arguing in bad faith. You don’t. You ignore them, or if you think you are pretty good with words you could belittle them for the people watching, but you won’t convince them.

… What? No? Is this secretly a business insider article? I have no doubt that it’ll sell far, far, far more than it should, but it won’t even marginally important. Mario was big, daggerfall was big, half life alyx was big, what is gta 6 going to do for the industry? What influence is it going to have? It’s it going to be entirely in vr? Cause that could make it big.
